This was bought to replace my old Dualit kettle. As keen tea and coffee drinkers we are delighted to be able to select temperatures between 70 and 100 degrees C. The kettle is easy to fill and there is no problem seeing the water level in the clear window beside the handle. The kettle is lighter than the Dualit and locates easily onto the centre mount. Up to 1.7 litres boils quickly and fairly quietly. There is a beep when the water is up to temperature. This is loud enough to be heard from another room and so might be an issue if a bedroom is next to the kitchen. Unfortunately the beep cannot be switched off. The stand-out feature is the keep warm facility, which keeps water at the selected temperature for 30 minutes. This is extremely useful when cooking and if making drinks for several people. I was planning to buy a boiling water tap but don't think I will bother now. I was initially wary about the look of the square base but it is actually rather smart. The on-off switch, temperature selector and keep warm facility are all operated from the base and they are easy to read and select. All-in-all an extremely successful purchase and I shall look to buy more Bosch products in the future.

Brought this to replace a previous Bosch kettle, and came across this, didn't know a kettle could look so good. This looks absolute stunning, 21st century. I like the variable temperature function, it allows you to boil water from 70 degrees to 100. This is useful if want the right taste for your coffee/tea or soup. I like the touch control's and the led bar shows what temp you are using.It boils very quickly and the spout is non drip. The build quality is excellent. overall i am very pleased.
